While editing together some videos about the wool coats I've been making, I decided I ought to enlist Plunger Monkey to help encourage folks to like and subscribe to my YouTube channel. I still want to get to that 100 subscriber mark so I can give my channel a custom URL, but I've been stuck at 40 for a while (actually, it was 41, but I lost one). So, if y'all out there in deviantArt land haven't subscribed to my channel, please do so. I haven't consistently posted art videos yet, but there are some there. You can also check out my wool coat projects and the semi-viral Parkout Bobcat video from December 2018. www.youtube.com/channel/UCBSab…

This is a shirt design available on my Plunger Monkey Designs Etsy shop, found here: www.etsy.com/shop/PlungerMonke… This and several other designs (four are currently available, with two more in the works) were inspired by a chance observation of a bobcat in my back yard having essentially a parkour chase to catch a squirrel. The video has kind of gone viral in a small way on FaceBook, and I've posted the video again but with the exciting part in slow motion on my YouTube channel here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8HNYK… It's really quite amazing to watch, and I'm very grateful I was in the right place at the right time. The popularity of the video has turned some eyeballs in my direction, which has lead to some attention for my art. I feel I owe that bobcat far more than one of the squirrels from the excessive population in my yard, so I've decided to donate 28% of the profit from the bobcat inspired shirts to The Big Cat Rescue, you can view their site here: bigcatrescue.org/ Spread the love, decorate your torso with my art AND help save endangered cats across the globe at the same time!

I forgot to post this here. Stan Lee's passing hit me pretty hard. He is responsible for a huge chunk of my childhood and the inspiration for many of my dreams. I wrote a little about all that on my website if you care to read a bit more: www.tobys-brain.com

I did one extra Inktober drawing so that I could cover all the prompts (with the vast majority of my offerings coming from my comic strip panels). So, though I missed two actual drawing days, I did 32 drawings for 31 days. Not too bad. This one is for Double, Jolt, and Slice. The last time I drank Jolt was to pull an all-nighter in college to finish a project for a critique the following day. During the crit, my heart felt like it was going to pound out of my chest, so I swore off the stuff (and soda in general). Of course, I think I drank two 2 liter bottles, as well as a gallon of caffeinated water. Not the smartest thing I've ever done...
